Painted event in Navigation View

[pvmagacho]

I am trying to use the painted event of a Container that is pushed into a Navigation View, because I need to get an element position inside the Container:

ex:
'main' is the navigation view

main.push({
      xtype: 'container',
      listeners: [
            {
                fn: 'onContainerPainted',
                delay: 500,
                event: 'painted'
            }
        ]
        onContainerPainted: function(component, options) {
                var box = component.down('#myId').element.getBox();
                // do something with box
        }
});

However, because of the animation of the navigation view I have to add a delay to the painted event (as shown above) otherwise the position retrieved by the getBox function is not correct.

Is there any way to fire an event only after the push/pop animation ends ? I've also tryed the push/pop event, but that did not work either since these events are fired before the painted event.

Thank you.

Instead of painted, have you tried activated?

I will try that out.

What is the difference between both events ?
After the acvitate event, will the DOM will already be all in place in the same way as the painted event ?

Thank you.

painted fires right before the elements are inserted into the DOM. The activate event fires when that component is made active by the container (in this case the nagivation view).

I am still a bit confused.

From the documentation I have the following statements:
activate: "Fires whenever item within the Container is activated"
painted: "Fires whenever this Component actually becomes visible (painted) on the screen. This is useful when you need to perform 'read' operations on the DOM element, i.e: calculating natural sizes and positioning."

Since I need to know the Container position, I've used the painted event. From what you're saying is that the activate event will be fired after the painted event and with the final position of the elements, when the animation of the navigation view has ended, correct ?

Thanks,

I've tested with both activated and painted. However, both of them did not work. I need to attach to the animationend event, but this is fired privately.

Any help on how to attach to end of the animation of the push event on a navigation view ?

Thanks

For any Panel that uses card layout the following code works pretty well.

        Ext.Viewport.getLayout().setAnimation({
            type: 'slide',
            duration: 200
        });
        var animation = Ext.Viewport.getLayout().getAnimation();

        animation.on({
                    animationend: function() {
                        // do stuff
                    },
                    scope: Ext.Viewport, 
                    single: true
        });

        Ext.Viewport.setActiveItem(Ext.create('MyApp.view.NextView'));
